Not Ideal Mate: A Global Dip in Visitors?
Alright folks Virat here! Looks like Mickey Mouse might be feeling a little less jolly these days. News is there's a bit of a slump in folks coming to the U.S. and that could ding Disney's theme parks. Apparently some people are blaming it on trade tensions and well let's just say not everyone agrees with certain policies. As an Indian I know how important it is to have good relationship with other countries.
Delta Blues: Airlines Feeling the Pinch
Even Delta Airlines is feeling the heat! They're talking about cutting back a bit which isn't exactly music to anyone's ears. Word on the street is people are being a bit 'cautious' about the whole global trade thing. Now I'm not an economist but I do know that if people aren't traveling someone's going to feel it. Especially Mickey.
TSA Checkpoint Drama: Flat is the New Down?
The Transportation Security Administration is another source in the middle of this crisis and news is that airport traffic is about flat. I'm going to go ahead and put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and deduce that this is not a good thing. I do not want a world where Disney's income is falling through the ground! After all I may have to go their to teach the kids how to bat!
Goldman Sachs Gives a Reality Check
Even the big guns at Goldman Sachs are raising an eyebrow. They've noticed things slowing down after a bit of a post election bump. So if things go really south people might skip that fancy Disney trip altogether. Remember kids always remember to treat your elders well and maybe save up a bit of money. After all a trip to Disney is expensive.
Cruise Control: A Silver Lining?
But hold on! It's not all doom and gloom. Apparently Disney's cruise business is doing pretty well. In fact some analysts think it could give Disney a serious boost! They're planning to nearly triple their cruise capacity. Looks like Mickey might be trading his mouse ears for a captain's hat.
The Jim Cramer Verdict: A Buy!
Even Jim Cramer is saying to buy Disney stock! He admits the parks might take a hit but he sees potential in the company overall especially with streaming and the box office comeback. He says enough is enough and recommends a buy!
